Southwest Ohio officials are asking Ohio Gov. John Kasich for $25.5 million in capital funds in the next two-year budget, and $8.2 million for renovations to arts facilities.

Culled from a list of 40 requests totaling more than $77 million, the priority projects sent to Kasich include $6 million for the next parking facility at The Banks riverfront development, $4 million for a pair of 3CDC projects in Over-the-Rhine, $3.5 million for a Port Authority project in Bond Hill and $4.5 million for renovation of Union Terminal in Queensgate.
